Description
Piers Place dates from the late 17th century and was altered and recased in the 18th century. It is set back from the road. The building is constructed of red brick with an old tiled roof, incorporating three box dormers and a parapet with a painted band. The gable end is coped. The building is two storeys and an attic, featuring a first-floor band. The front elevation has five double-hung sash windows with flush moulded frames, flat gauged brick arches, and wooden cills. The front door is a six-panelled door with a semi-circular traceried fanlight, flanked by attached Roman Doric columns, an entablature with paterae, a modillion cornice, and an open modillion pediment. A lower two-storey wing is located on the west side and has a coped gable, a band course, and a single sash window to the first floor. A 19th-century gabled wing, numbered 130A, sits in front and is constructed of purple brick with a tiled roof. The rear elevation displays three hipped dormers, wooden bracketed eaves, a central large semi-circular headed stair window, a door with a hood below, and two sash windows on each floor. The west wing also features a hipped dormer, wooden eaves, and a single sash window to the first floor.
